History
Founded in 2005 by Mateo Lara and Pablo Pizarro, FLtècnics emerged as a service and retrofit provider for horizontal packaging machinery suppliers. Drawing from their 20 years of technical expertise in the industry, the founders identified weaknesses in existing machines and embarked on developing FLtècnics' own line of horizontal packaging machinery.
The company quickly gained recognition for its exceptional features and customer-centric approach. The year 2005 marked a major milestone with the launch of the first FLtècnics machine that fulfilled USA customers' diverse requirements, such as flexibility, versatility, modularity, reliability, robustness, and operational guarantees. After that, new orders increased significantly, allowing the company to grow quickly to serve these new customers, and our commercial network has kept on growing.
In 2018, FLtècnics was acquired by ProMach Group, a USA-based company with over 3,000 employees, a network of 46 companies and over 35 packaging brands. This strategic alliance opened up new avenues for growth, as ProMach had already established a successful partnership with FLtècnics as its primary distributor in the USA market.
Under the ProMach Built brand seal, we've kept our core values and management structure, with a continued focus on technological advancements, as it has always been. Joining forces with ProMach expands our global business potential and empowers us to forge new synergies and build even stronger client relationships. We have set an ambitious plan to expand our presence across five additional continents, as we remain committed to customer satisfaction.

When you choose FLtècnics as your trusted technological partner, you gain the ability to optimize your operations, and have full confidence in the performance and reliability of your packaging processes.

We stay true to this statement by constantly improving our products through technological innovations and new technical solutions from our R&D department while offering outstanding after-sales service, both in person and remotely, ensuring that your machines always operate at peak performance and an exceptional 3-year warranty.
Sustainability
We are excited for the changes happening in the packaging world, where more sustainable materials are more commonly used, and both clients and manufacturers are aware of this new goal. Our customers and us are ready for this transition, and FLtècnics is working in compliance with new manufacturing regulations.
If your company has sustainability goals to reach, we can help you by switching to flexible packaging. Flexible packaging such as pouches and sachets are lightweight and compact, needing less gas for transportation and less space for storage. These also use fewer raw materials than rigid formats and can be completely recyclable. Pouches with Zipper closures are also a great reusable alternative to single-use plastic packaging.

Our constant aim to improve allows us to offer our clients unique and exclusive technical solutions that make us stand out among our competitors. Our highly customized machines allow every single customer to have their specific needs met, adding value to the end-user.
Seamless collaboration between our engineering and R&D departments ensures a constant stream of innovations and technical solutions that keep our machinery updated and at the forefront of the industry. We stay attuned to industry and geographical trends in packaging, enabling us to adapt to the ever-changing market.
The commercial department, working side-by-side with engineering, gives our customers extra assurance throughout all project stages that their machine specifications will be in accordance with customer requirements.
